Hang up and call again (maybe you got the CVG call center? They are the worst). I had my flights changed, but they had to make the effort to determine that it was cancelled...it wasn't readily apparent on anything that the agent I spoke to could find at first.
I guess I could wait a few days, then change it online myself. :rolleyes: |
Depends on how specific you are on flight and seat availability. I wanted a specific DL flight, and on the return, there are now only 2 reclining EC seats left that are together (on 2 side). Yes, am in the back on this itinerary

Shouldn't be to hard to get the flight and seat you want then. Flights seem to be generally light up front. They were selling J JFK to IST at around $2050 a few hours ago (via AMS and/or CDG).

Why does DL seem to push towards AMS and CDG for connections and not FCO? AZ is in the TATL joint venture. correct?

I am on DL72 JFK-IST on Nov 20 and the return DL73 on Nov 25.
Currently, @DeltaAssist says the flight is still operational, but there is no availability. I have my alternative preferences ready to go though. |

Actually I should mention that FCO did come up, but was more expensive than connecting in CDG or AMS. I'm not a fan of connecting in FCO, as the other hubs generally (depending on destination) have more flights to utilize in case of a misconnect. OTOH, some of the AZ birds have completely flat bed seats in J.

Well, I guess the rumor is no longer a rumor. ClipperDelta or anyone else in a position to know, why doesn't DL decrease the route frequency to 4 or 5 times a week rather than terminate completely? I assume that most of the IST ground people are contract workers or else work for AF/KL/AZ.
Looks like there will be plenty of slack in the 767ER fleet to allow the interior mods to be made fairly rapidly. |

This is disappointing, but not surprising.
Based on observations, there has been a huge difference between loads in peak and off peak seasons. We frequently see oversells in the summer (Op-up in both directions this month! ) and then they seem to have trouble giving tickets away in the $600 range as soon as October rolls around. +1 for updating the BE seats on the 763s too. |

Actually, I think that AZ is well beyond "some" for their flat bed modifications. It appears that they've got them all done now or maybe there's still one ghetto AP A330 out there, but it will be gone soon. Even the 777s have been updated now!
The lounge in FCO was a dump but that isnt a big part of the experience for me. By all means, give AZ a try. |
